Opal Stevens' Beauty Blogger of the Week: Kia Simpson

By -

I'm very excited to announce this week's "Beauty Blogger of the Week" - the artistically talented and beautiful Kia!  I love her blog and she illustrates all the pictures of beauty products on her blog using watercolors and cosmetics. It's definitely one of the coolest and most unique blogs I've seen and you should definitely check it out - MAKE me UP. 

How did you get started blogging? 
I think like most bloggers, I loved reading blogs. There are so many good ones out there & Not long after I decided I would like to make my own. I wasn't 100% sure what I would blog about, but I knew it would be beauty related. Intertwining Art into my blog was completely unplanned, but I think if you have a passion for something, blog about it! 

Favorite Hair Tip or Product? 
Because I dye my hair, a good conditioner to keep it looking healthy is really important, but I don't think I have a favourite product/brand. I do like to use Talcum Powder on my roots if they get greasy, it's a great alternative to dry shampoo.


Beauty trend you love? 
Brown smokey eyes, my all time favourite look.

Favorite fashion trend? 
At the minute I am loving knee length dresses. Inspired by the likes of Kate Middleton & the 50's. However I do like my comfy jumpers/sweaters!


Favorite Health tip?
Exercising should be enjoyable and not a chore, find an activity that you actually want to do!

Life tip?
Your Mother was probably right

What are some of your favorite beauty products?

Bio Oil 60ml 8.99 Renowned for it's quality and versatility. I like to put this on my face once a week before bed, it really helps to hydrate my skin. It also helps improve the appearance of scars, uneven skin tone and ageing skin. One of those must have products. 


Kiehls Creme De Corps 27.00 Such a lovely body moisturizer, definitely going in my top 3. This absorbs nicely, it has a thick, luxurious, non-greasy formula and leaves my skin hydrated. Simple yet effective.

Shu Uemura Depsea Water 16.50 This gentle spray mists lightly onto my face, sinks into my skin & leaves it feeling refreshed. They have a range of different aromas, my current fav is lavender. It's great if you skin is looking a bit tired!

As we inch closer to the new year it's a great to reminisce at some of the style high points of 2011! Crazy Hair Colors:  Katy Perry went pink, Charlotte Free went pink, Lady Gaga went pink. It was definitely a wild trend!  Red Hair: This was a popular hair color this year with stars like Drew Barrymore, Demi Lovato, Blake Lively, and Emma Stone rocking their red locks.  Ombre Nails: Ombre hair has been extremely popular trend the last couple of years, but ombre nails made a big splash in the world of fashion this year.  Fuchsia  Lip: This bold lip color was featured at Diane von Furstenberg, but Natalie Portman showed off a more wearable version at the Golden Globes.  Dip Dye Hair: Ombre hair was taken to a completely new level with the introduction of rainbow colors. Lauren Conrad was a huge part of making this such a popular trend.  What were your favorite trends of 2011?

Keratin Hair Treatments: The Answer to All My Problems?

The quest for perfect hair seems like a never ending battle. Products everywhere claim that they will solve all your hair problems, but I have yet to find one that actually will (if you happen to know of one, please tell me :D.) But there is a new process that has caught my eye... keratin hair treatments. What do keratin hair treatments do? Keratin hair treatments involve a process that can get rid of up to 99% of frizz, straighten hair, make hair soft & shiny, and protect the hair from toxins like UV rays, smoke, & pollution. How does this process do it? Wow! This really does seem like the end to my hair battle? Well, keratin is what hair (and nails) are naturally made up of. When we use styling tools, expose hair to chemical processes and toxins in the environment, the keratin in your hair becomes less effective at its job (keeping your hair strong and looking healthy.) Where can I get it and how much will it hurt my wallet? You can get it at a salon and it shou...
